converting two one way switches to two way switching

BTW, the french call them "auto-alimentation". Not sure why, though.

But they do like their food... :wink:
 
Hello,
I'm converting two rooms into one (knocking down a partition) which means there will be two switches and two lights.

What I want is to have just one light. i.e. convert to two way switches.

Is there a way of achieving this without rewiring the switches to use three core and earth. It's not a big deal, but it would be nice if there was a simple way as I'm sure people have never always used three core...

Thanks.

This could be a solution BUT I dont like it.
If you do us it then make sure both light are on the same MCB/fuse etc and neutral.

This method can give you some unexpected surprises.
